"A bucket of rice costs eighty cents. The price of rice has risen so fast."
In a rice shop in Xinglongfang, Chen Xuan bought a stone of rice and carried it home.
The Wanzhou rebellion has been going on for two months now. The Wanzhou garrison has been borrowing troops and food constantly, but the situation has not improved at all.
Now not only the rebels, but also the Wanzhou Green Forest Chief Laobangzi, the Eighteenth Route Thieves Chief Laobangzi and the Seventy-two Waterway Wharf Chief Laobangzi have joined forces to form a Kou Tian sect, and the Kou Tian rebels are burning, killing and looting everywhere.
In fact, a Kou Tian rebel army rushed to Yishui County in Yuanzhou, broke into a county town, and looted all the wealth. By the time the Yishui County army received the news and arrived, Kou Tian's rebel army had already fled.
In addition to Yishui County in Yuanzhou, several other neighboring states were also plundered and affected by Kou Tian's rebel army. The bandits in these states were also restless and joined Kou Tian's rebel army one after another to cause chaos.
The world.
Although Yuanzhou no longer lends grain to Wanzhou, prices within Yuanzhou are still skyrocketing.
In September, a bushel of rice still cost twenty-five cents, but now it has risen to eighty cents.
Vegetables and meat have also increased several times.
In the past, ordinary people could occasionally eat meat.
But now, the price of pork has increased to 100 cents per pound, and it has even been out of stock several times.
Those times when the stock was out of stock, it was because the livestock traders were robbed by bandits.
Recently, Chen Xuan has not dared to go hunting outside the city for fear of encountering bandits outside the city.
There is no peace outside the city now. Not only livestock traders, but also some powerful trading houses have encountered robbers and their goods have been robbed.
Some of the children of aristocratic families who went to hunting grounds outside the city to hunt were killed by robbers.
I heard that water bandits are also active on the Canglan River waterway.
"Qingshui County is also in a bit of chaos!"
Chen Xuan sighed.
After buying rice, he went to the vegetable market and bought a lot of meat.
He had just made a fortune and got more than three hundred taels of silver from Dr. Wang and Huiyuan Medical Clinic, so with that money he could stock up on more meat, and if he couldn't finish it, he could dry it into dried meat.
In these troubled times, there is nothing wrong with stocking up on extra food.
Ordinary people can only buy more rice, noodles and wild vegetables.
"If you have time, learn to swim more and improve your water skills."
Chen Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
Although Koutian's rebel army may not necessarily reach Qingshui County, it is still necessary to improve the water quality in case of emergency.
With his swimming skills improved, he can hold his breath underwater for a longer period of time.
At certain times, you can hide underwater to avoid danger.
After a large purchase, Chen Xuan went to the drug store to buy the medicinal materials needed to refine the secret skin-scaling medicine.
Of course, in order not to arouse suspicion, he bought them in batches, and in addition to the medicinal materials required for the secret skin microdermabrasion medicine, he also bought several other medicinal materials mixed in.
"Have you heard that Dr. Wang from Huiyuan Medical Center is blind?"
"Dr. Wang's eyes are blind. What's going on? Why is he so blind?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I heard from people at Huiyuan Medical Center that Dr. Wang stayed at Huiyuan Medical Center yesterday. When he got up this morning, he couldn't see him. Many people saw him when he went back."
"So, this bitch Wang Liming is really blind."
"God is really wise. My husband-in-law didn't agree to join Huiyuan Medical Clinic. As a result, he was stabbed and blinded on the way back from practicing medicine. The government detectives just caught a gangster and closed the case hastily. But I
I know this is what this piece of shit Wang Liming sent someone to do.”
"Okay, great, this bitch Wang Liming finally got his comeuppance today."
"..."
Returning to Changningfang, Chen Xuan heard someone talking about Dr. Wang.
Dr. Wang's full name is Wang Liming.
Some people just wanted to watch the show, while others yelled at Wang Liming.
"It seems that Dr. Wang's character in Changningfang is not very good."
Hearing that many people were scolding Dr. Wang, Chen Xuan knew that the people in Changningfang disliked Dr. Wang, but they were afraid of the power Dr. Wang had, so they dared not speak out in anger.
But now that Dr. Wang is blind, everyone feels happy.
When he got home, Chen Xuan opened all the bags of medicinal materials he bought, picked out all the medicinal materials for the secret skin microdermabrasion medicine, and then put them into a casserole and started boiling the medicine.
At the beginning, Chen Xuanfang’s medicinal materials were all in the same dosage.
"Gurgling..."
As the fire began to boil, the medicine in the casserole also began to boil.
"about there."
Seeing that the medicinal soup inside was almost dry, Chen Xuan picked up the casserole and poured out the medicinal soup.
Because the secret medicine for microdermabrasion is applied externally, you have to wait for the medicinal solution to cool down.
After half an hour, the medicinal soup cooled down.
"so hard!"
Chen Xuan poured out the medicinal soup from the bowl, but at this time it had condensed into a lump, as hard as a stone.
"The difference is quite big!"
Looking at the black block in front of him that was as hard as stone, Chen Xuan knew that he had failed.
The secret elixir for microdermabrasion is a black paste like ointment, and the secret elixir he refined is extremely hard after it cools down, making it impossible to apply it on the skin for the body to absorb.
"It's not a big problem. It's normal to fail the first time."
Although the brewed secret medicine could not be used, Chen Xuan still saw that his proficiency in medicine had increased by '1' point, and he knew why the medicine soup was so hard after cooling down.
That's because there is too much of one of the medicinal herbs called "Yixincao".
The next time you cook it, you will need to add less of this ‘Yixincao’ flavor.
As long as he keeps experimenting and correcting, Chen Xuan believes that it won't take long to master the 'dose' and 'temperature' and refine the real secret of skin resurfacing.
After pouring out the medicine residue in the casserole, Chen Xuan continued to boil the medicine.
